Gaza hospital blast: searching for the facts

How the media first reported the story amid claim and counterclaim.

The deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza raises many questions about how the media is covering the Israel Gaza war. Ros Atkins talks to senior executives from Reuters, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and AFP about how news organisations should report claims being made by both sides. We consider the terms of engagement for journalists after a Reuters video journalist was killed in a strike in Lebanon, and hear what it's like reporting on Hamas.

Alessandra Galloni, Editor in Chief, Reuters; Phil Chetwynd, Global News Director, AFP news agency; Richard Burgess, Director of News Content, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ News; Emily Bell, Director, Tow Center for Digital Journalism; Isobel Yeung, foreign correspondent.
